Wake development behind paired wings with tip and root trailing vortices: consequences for animal flight force estimates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent experiments on flapping flight in animals have shown that a variety of unrelated species shed a wake behind left and right wings consisting of both tip and root vortices.

Ways that animal wings produce sound.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 There are at least eight ways that wings potentially produce sound. Five mechanisms are aerodynamic sounds, created by airflow, and three are structural sound created by interactions of solid surfaces.

On the autorotation of animal wings [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2017 Botanical samaras spin about their centre of mass and create vertical aerodynamic forces which slow their rate of descent. Descending autorotation of animal wings, however, has never been documented. We report here that isolated wings from Anna's hummingbirds, and also from 10 species of insects, can stably autorotate and achieve descent speeds and ...

Dissection of Larval and Pupal Wings of Bicyclus anynana Butterflies
Methods and Protocols, 2020 The colorful wings of butterflies are emerging as model systems for evolutionary and developmental studies. Some of these studies focus on localizing gene transcripts and proteins in wings at the larval and pupal stages using techniques such as ...

Animal-Based Measures for the On-Farm Welfare Assessment of Geese
Animals, 2020 Currently, no specific animal-based measures (ABMs) protocols are available for geese in commercial meat production systems. Following a critical review of the literature and consultation of experts, seven ABMs, potentially valid and feasible for the on ...

Vocal communication in nonhuman animals: View from the wings [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 – Forty years ago, Seyfarth, Cheney, and Marler published two papers claiming semanticity for wild vervet monkey alarms calls. The papers arrived at an extremely interesting and active time in the study of animal behavior—a period during which ...

Glossina from the Republic of the Congo: species identification by MALDI-TOF MS and research of associated micro-organisms [PDF]
ParasiteHuman African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT), transmitted by Glossina species, remain major health and economic burdens in Africa. Accurate vector identification is essential for effective control strategies.

Describing Textures in the Wild [PDF]
2014 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2013 Patterns and textures are defining characteristics of many natural objects: a shirt can be striped, the wings of a butterfly can be veined, and the skin of an animal can be scaly.

The essential requirement of an animal heme peroxidase protein during the wing maturation process in Drosophila [PDF]
BMC Developmental Biology, 2017 BackgroundThus far, a handful of genes have been shown to be related to the wing maturation process in insects. A novel heme peroxidase enzyme known as curly suppressor (Cysu)(formerly CG5873), have been characterized in this report because it is ...
